extends Task
implements TypeAdapter

Uses introspection to "adapt" an arbitrary Bean which doesn't itself extend Task, but still contains an execute method and optionally a setProject method.

Method Detail

### checkTaskClass

    public static void checkTaskClass(java.lang.Class taskClass,
                                      Project project)

  Checks whether or not a class is suitable to be adapted by TaskAdapter. If the class is of type Dispatchable, the check is not performed because the method that will be executed will be determined only at runtime of the actual task and not during parse time. This only checks conditions which are additionally required for tasks adapted by TaskAdapter. Thus, this method should be called by Project.checkTaskClass. Throws a BuildException and logs as Project.MSG_ERR for conditions that will cause the task execution to fail. Logs other suspicious conditions with Project.MSG_WARN.

  Parameters:
    `taskClass` - Class to test for suitability. Must not be `null`.
    `project` - Project to log warnings/errors to. Must not be `null`.
  See Also:
    `Project.checkTaskClass(Class)`

### checkProxyClass

    public void checkProxyClass(java.lang.Class proxyClass)

  Check if the proxy class is a valid class to use with this adapter. The class must have a public no-arg "execute()" method.

  Specified by:
    `checkProxyClass` in interface `TypeAdapter`
  Parameters:
    `proxyClass` - the class to check.

### execute

    public void execute()
                 throws BuildException

  Executes the proxied task.

  Overrides:
    `execute` in class `Task`
  Throws:
    `BuildException` - if the project could not be set or the method could not be executed.

### setProxy

    public void setProxy(java.lang.Object o)

  Sets the target object to proxy for.

  Specified by:
    `setProxy` in interface `TypeAdapter`
  Parameters:
    `o` - The target object. Must not be `null`.

### getProxy

    public java.lang.Object getProxy()

  Returns the target object being proxied.

  Specified by:
    `getProxy` in interface `TypeAdapter`
  Returns:
    the target proxy object.
